The Washington correspondent of
the Alexandra gazette says:
"a gentleman from Kentucky, q
connection of the Breckinridges, here
to-day says the Democrats of that State
are utterly devoid of enthusiasm. and
thatthoresult oftherccent election there
WAS even more favorable than he had
anticipated. He says he fears the Pre-
sident has got his party in bad shape,
as if he I've rcnominated many will not
take the trouble to go to the polls"
This "won't do" The people did
vote. We have not verified the figures,
but we have no doubt that the Atlanta
CONSTITUTION is right when it says that
the total vote in the State of Kentucky
vt the recent election was 5000 more
than the heaviest vote ever polled in
that State in previous years, and yet
the Democratic vote was nearly 5000
less than CLRvELAtD's vote in 1884.

A Good Platform.

The old Tenth Legion is harl to beat.
The Rockingham Register, whilst 10y
ally standing upon the Roanoke plat
form, lays down one of its own. And
an admirable platform it $50 far at
least as We reproduce it below. The
Register says:
1--WE believe that the revenue for the
support Of the Government should be
raised by duties on foreign imports as
fer as can possibly be done, aud that
these duties should bo go laid as TO
foster and protect American labor and
industry, without creating or fostering
monopolios. We believe that there
should be q revision of the tariff on
this basis, and that the protcctio
ought not to be all on the side OF the
employer, as it has been un-
der Republican policy and legis-
lation. Native labor should be
protected against foreign pauper
labor, and the practice of protected
manufacturers importing foreign pau
per-labor, whenever they see fit, to sup
ply with them tue places OF native
laborers who demand some of the bene-
fits Of protection and refuse to work at
starvation wages, should be strictly
prohibited by law, and the immigra-
ton laws should prevent any class of
people settling III this country who do
not come Of their own accord and who
ale not industrious and law-abiding
We favor and advocate the repeal of
the tax on tobacco, so that the tobacco
grower shall be on an equal footing
with other ngriculturists and have the

equally as good or better, aifording
Federal aid to education, and we think
that the illiteracy, particularly in the
southern States, calls for speedy action
by Congress in this direction.

City, for shooting and killing Rufus
Eale, was called in the Giles County

the forenoon. The case was submitted
TO the jury without argument, and
after twenty-five minutes deliberation
the jury returned O verdict OF not
guilty. 1t was clearly proved that
Ecbols acted in seif-defence. The
scene Of the affray, as reported in the
Dispatch at the time, was at the Mar

THE STATE DEBT.


1.-The Democratic party accepts as
final the recent settlement of the pub
lie debt, pronounced constitutional
by the courts Of last resort, State and
Federal, and will oppose all agitation
OF the question, or any disturbance OF
that settlement, by appeal or other
wise."
This was on the Goth of July, 1888.
The decree Of "the court OF last re-
sort by the way, as matter of con-
stitutional Interpretation, not the court
of last resort, for it had no rightful
jurisdiction in the case and no court
had-to which reference is made, WAS
the decision of Antoni as. Greenhow,
l07 United States Reports, 769, pro-
nounced in October, 1882, nearly a
year before the Lynchburg convention.
The grammar of the sentence fixes it
that the reference was to the past and
not TO the future.
But whilst agree with you thus far,
regret to differ as to the duration OF
the pledge against any disturbance Of
the settlement by appeal or otherwise.
That was SAID four years ago. In that
time the vtior,s Of the bondholders have
disturbed that settlement; they have
been coascless TO produce a state Of
things which, if it is brought about,
will plunge the State in anarchy. I
cannot agree that we are bouud to
ground our arms and let our enemies
fire into lis and ruin us. Pledge or no
pledge, self-defence is one of the high
est Of duties Of man and a citizen. l
agree with Mr.. Massey "Give them
time but don't give them eternity"
And SO say ell the taxpayers.
+@+ uses the word "appeal"; but
repeal" is the right word. There
could be no appeal from the court OF
last resort. Appeal was put in by
the printer or somebody else.
